Mark Dixon's quest to explore the world of Identity Management

Friday May 15, 2009

It has been interesting recently to monitor the progress of Project Kenai, Sun's "new foundation for its connected developer experience of tomorrow." The concept is quite simple:

"Freely host your open source projects and code as well as find and collaborate with developers of like mind and passion."

Having gone live back in September of 2008, Kenai now exceeds over 7,000 members and surpassed 500 publicly hosted open source projects. This juxtaposition of members and projects seems to be growing towards critical mass.

Currently, seven of those 7,000+ members (yours truly included) tagged themselves with "Identity" as an area of interest. I wonder what innovation in this area awaits us?

Discovering Identity was founded on blogs.sun.com in May 2005 as a means of documenting my exploration of the field of Identity and Access Management. In February, 2010, I switched to hosting the blog at DiscoveringIdentity.com. In March 2012, I began posting Oracle-related information in both places.
